Making the Circular Economy Work

Transition to a more circular economy requires changes throughout value chains, from new ways of turning waste into a resource to new modes of consumer behaviour. How can European cities and regions become circular? Should they develop a cross-sectoral circular economy strategy or focus on specific areas only? What are the areas where the circular model can be applied? These are some of the questions that this webinar will address. Making the Circular Economy Work is a free webinar taking place on the 29th of March from 14:00 to 15:30 CET.

Our speakers will go through various aspects of the circular economy, from bioenergy to industrial and urban symbioses, including local strategic planning.
